A ship which needs to change its course of path makes a different move to port or to starboard; a vehicle to change its direction is steered to left or right but however a change is apparent in the course of action. A train travelling from one destination to the other has to switch many tracks to reach its destined station , on its way it has to avail to the difference on its course of path, if not there are no odds of it  reaching its destination. An artist who usually uses pencil to portray his imagination if she intends to have a choice of painting involving colours has to switch to colours, for she cannot paint a colourful painting with pencil alone.  

       Everybody desires to have a change in their life; from Albert to Anand, Nixon to Narayanan, Neha to Nazareth, Naomi to Niranjana. All of us wait for a change in their job, family, career, relationship the list is infinitesimal. Everyone wakes up with a hope that the new sun would bring new direction, new possibility, but here lies the irony, those who wish for a change unfortunately counts on a transformation that does not entail any effort from oneself. A train has to switch tracks to reach its destination. A cook who intends to prepare a new cuisine would never add same proportion of items to the dish from that of the old one. The proportion and the spices to be used should necessarily be changed accordingly for the new cuisine, which is the law of nature.

      At this juncture those hoping for a change, it is necessary to introspect whether we are adding different proportion of items  to our dish or the same items and waiting for the dish to transform itself into that which we desire? Let me quite on the metaphorical expression and put it black and white, are we waiting for a change without being a catalyst for difference? If so there isn’t going to be a change.

    Waking up at the same time, sleeping at the same time, taking the same route to work , having the same indifferent attitude towards work and people , watching the same TV  program, clinging on to the monotonous mundane chores which has made things comfy and leaving no room for a change and the account extends.

   For new things to happen in life novel efforts needs to come into play. If you wanna be creative and explore new possibilities at your work, at college or wherever, the quintessential need is new effort and new thinking.

Paneer Sanjubaba

Paneer Sanju baba, was completely spicy and onion based gravy and went very well with rotis. Squid was good enough felt a little, can be better feeling . Rotis were too small. Malai Paratha was really good. They served paratha in Iron Kadai to give the feel of heat. Service was very good. Dessert was completely recommended and very tasty. Irani chai was very good.

Overall, it was really a nice experience to be in an Irani cafe with interesting cocktail tasting session.

  Bon Apetit
